sorry , you are correct - league of Ireland, just had a look at the top scorers list Karl Sheppard age 26 has played in Holland looks useful but not sure what level the League of Ireland is?

Low but produces good players.

Even if Conference sides are better than LoI sides, I would have more confidence in a LoI top scorer making an impact in the EFL than a Conference top scorer.

I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source but was charged with sexual abuse of a little girl in 2014...

Bohemians are a decent standard, if wiki is correct then he may be worth a look

He would have been 15 or 16 at time. Seeing as pupil on pupil sexual abuse happens at schools and in gangs on a daily basis with no action taken it is surprising he was convicted at all. Lowest of the low in terms of crime imo.

Not sure we should be signing convicted child abusers or rapists to be honest.

From what I've seen of Moore he doesn't inspire confidence or the consistency we need to put a run together. But we're stuck with him now. Same goes for Grimes. We are now really missing Cranners.

We are not stuck with Grimes. He could be listed.

As with all transfer listings, they only work if someone wants to buy

Grimes won't be listed. Gary rates him and sees the potential. Probably one of our most potentially highest value players in the future.

Plus we now have the right number of CBs in the squad, so keep that stable and focus on the LB, RB, Wing and striker needed.

Potential? Isn't Grimes like 29 years old already. In my opinion he should be cover for Boyle and Manny if we play four at the back. He is then eased in if one loses form or picks up an injury.

He's 27 but I can't see him improving very much at all. He should be at his peak but he's still "learning".

I back Gary on this one.

So do most of the forwards in Div 2 waiting to play us.
